Can someone walk me through this Bond Evaluation/ Bond Valuation question?

What's the answer to these question??

  1. Last year Joan purchased a $1000 face value corporate bond with an 11% annual coupon rate and a 10-year maturity. At the time of the purchase, it had an expected yield to maturity of 9.79%. If joan sold the bond today for $1060.49, what rate of return would she have earned for the past year?

  2. You are considering a 10-year, $1000 par value bond. Its coupon rate is 9% and interest is paid semiannually. If you require an "effective" annual interest rate (not a nominal rate) of 8.16%, how much should you be willing to pay for the bond?

Thanks a lot!
